Heat stress reduces intestinal barrier integrity and favors intestinal glucose transport in growing pigs.

Heat stress reduces intestinal barrier integrity and favors intestinal glucose transport in growing pigs.

Excessive heat exposure reduces intestinal integrity and post-absorptive energetics that can inhibit wellbeing and be fatal. Therefore, our objectives were to examine how acute heat stress (HS) alters intestinal integrity and metabolism in growing pigs. Animals were exposed to either thermal neutral...
